Behold - Dtheatre 4.0

By SKillBot January 8, 2001 12:53 PM

Plenty of work has gone into this release - some of it being done shortly after the new version went live.?After a year and a half, this release represents the refined talents of the original developers as well as a tremendous amount of work from some new blood.?

Several features have been added:
- Emailing stories to a friend
- Topics are back again
- WAP support for mobile phones ( http://wap.dtheatre.com )
- Bug fixes and code cleanups galore!
- Everything now runs in PHP4

We've tested this version extensively, but if you find anything that doesn't work for you, please contact us at bugz@dtheatre.com

Thanks to all of our loyal vistors and weblog junkies in general.?This site is for you.?

Well, it wasn't supposed to come out today but we had an intern who didn't know that and thought it would be a good idea to release it, so here it is.

Other things that were updated and not pointed out up there are:
- Incase you haven't noticed there is a new layout (how could you miss that killbot?)
- Printable version stories
- The login thing now actually works. Login again if you have an account.
- Comment posting has been refined (allowed HTML changes, word filtering, Stupid Subject filter)
- Editing of lame comments will also officially begin today.

EJ and Acheron post anything I may be missing.

We hope that there is an over all better feel here.

Also included:

-Fully searchable story/author/comment database and better searching functionality

Note: I think that the intern should be dragged out into the street, flogged with a rubber hose, and publicly humiliated.

Excellent job on the site, guys. It keeps getting better and better. You're putting more and more pressure on me to rewrite WonkoSlice in PHP. :p

Oh another thing is we've got a custom bookmark icon for IE.  Not really a functional aspect of the new site, but cool nonetheless!

Wow, you guys really rock. I'd have to say it is definitely the best design that you guys have had so far, very unique in appearance and color. Keep up the good work!

comon guys, everybody knows that image ISN'T everything. a lot of people think it's *nothing*. the only time image counts is when you are marketing junk products to the masses (example, britney spears).

I disagree. Humans are naturally and perceptively more visual creatures. The first impression and image matters A LOT. Sure, image is not everything in the long run, but it is a good first impression, and with good content supplementing a good image, it's one sweet ass kicker. So in short, yes, image *is* everything!

As much as we would like it not to be, image is very important in todays society.  When you go for a job interview, or when you go out on a date, or just everyday encounters, image is a factor, and some would say a very large one.  Also image is not totally a visual medium either "image" could be considered how a person or entity is percieved, not just in the visual sense, but through their actions.  Basically my point is that how others percieve you or your group/company etc., is an important part of todays society whether we want it that way or not.

Yeah, but is that two thumbs and a tail up, or two thumbs and a tail down?
